According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, the deal will be for five years. He was the first to report the news.

Fans immediately took to social media, commenting on the WXYZ Facebook post and on Twitter to express their sadness about Beilein leaving but also their happiness for the memories he made with Michigan Basketball. Check out the reaction below.

Its unquestionable that John Beilein is one of the best and classiest coaches in the game. This is a loss for college basketball. The temporary gain his departure might give MSU is over shadowed by a sense of loss for the state and conference. Good luck, coach.
